Our Product Offers Ease of Alignment

Polarcor™ is a keystone optical element in polarization-dependent isolators, optical modulators, polarimetry systems, ellipsometers, shutters and many other polarization-based devices. Polarcor™ is characterized by high extinction and low insertion loss throughout the 600 nm to 2300 nm wavelengths. The polarization mechanism (resonant absorption by elongated silver crystals within the glass material) ensures the elimination of stray light, by absorbing the unwanted polarization. Since Polarcor™ is a solid glass product it is extremely resistant to chemical, physical and thermal damage, while exhibiting excellent optical properties.

Polarcor™ can be used to:

Create or block polarized light

Reduce glare and suppress reflections

Enhance contrast of images

Modulate energy

Control intensity and color

Improve signal to noise ratio

Applications:

Polarization-dependent optical isolators

Infrared sensors

Instrument filters

Modulators

Fiber polarizers

Magnetic anomaly detectors

Various fiber optic devices
